Other Factors
Other than the actual look and feel of the horizontal blinds there are other factors to consider when choosing the right window blinds.Moisture
Faux wood blinds are excellent in areas where moisture may be an issue such as a bathroom blinds or kitchen blinds. They are easy to clean and moisture doesn't harm them like real wood blinds. Wood blinds that are subject to high humidity can warp. Faux wood blinds are made of synthetic vinyl materials that can withstand abuse.Weight
Weight is another item to consider. Faux wood blinds are heavier than wood blinds. The materials that the horizontal slats are made out of weighs more than real wood. This can be an issue with larger blinds. The larger blinds become heavier and harder operate or lift. This is not to say faux wood blinds will not operate correctly because they will. Real wood blinds will just take less effort to tilt or lift.....................................
